Problem with stock clutch
Hey guys I'm having a problem with my stock clutch on my 05 with 25k miles. Heres the scenario.
This problem occurs in the day at 90+ degree weather. I noticed that my clutch has a tiny bit of play (1 to 1 1/2in) before it actually has pressure when pressing it. This I thought was normal. This is the weird part. During hot weather, when releasing the clutch to engage gears, it gets either stuck or comes up slowly, but not from the floor. It gets stuck comes up slowly near the top, at the part that has play. The clutch comes off the floor fine, engages fine and there is no sign of slipping. Its just during that last bit when you know the clutch is engaged in gear, and u release it completely, thats when it sticks..... During night driving everything is fine. Any ideas? I was thinking maybe bleeding the clutch? I checked fluid levels and it looks good, and dipped my finger to see if the fluid was hot, felt normal.
